[How to eat like this?]
[One lunch box is not enough for me alone.]
[You really have to count the rice grains before eating. Rong Yue doesn’t seem very smart, but I feel that her Brother will stop her.]
“Good idea!” Rong Bo nodded, took the twenty yuan, and went to find the staff, “I’ll go ask them to help me order now. One lunch box costs more than ten yuan, and a few more yuan for a serving of rice.”
It was just that Rong Bo’s wishful thinking didn’t go as planned.
The place they lived in was too remote, so if they ordered takeout, they had to pay the long-distance delivery fee.
“Why don’t you walk there?” The staff said, “I checked, the nearest fast-food restaurant is two kilometers away from us. Walking there can save eight yuan in delivery fees.”
Rong Bo was the eldest son of a wealthy family and had never suffered such hardships before. He refused without a second thought: “It’s just the delivery fee. Just order it.”
Now two families already had meals today, and now it was up to Mo Sui’s family.
No one thought they could come up with a better solution.
Du Qianyi was a person who lived a simple life. She was already stretched to the limit with two children alone and had to eat noodles twice in a row.
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui were two adults with one child. According to the program team’s rules, Mo Sui could not deliberately go on a diet. The twenty yuan they had was not necessarily enough for them to spend.
“I have two yuan.” An An took out two yuan from her school bag and said weakly, “I earned it by delivering food.”
Mo Sui: ???
When did her daughter go to deliver the takeaway?
“An An, the program team said that you can’t bring your own money.” Gu Yicheng laughed and said to his daughter.
The little dumpling was stunned, and her mouth opened into a small ‘O’ shape.
Didn’t they say they could go to work?
“I’ll go buy some vegetables.” Gu Yicheng said to Mo Sui, “You stay at home to take care of the child.”
“Is twenty yuan enough to buy vegetables?” Mo Sui asked.
Buying vegetables was actually a technical job.
Generally speaking, people like Gu Yicheng, who was obviously not the type to live a homely life, would become lambs to be slaughtered as soon as he entered the market.
It was not that the vegetable stall owners would cheat on the weight, but they were too enthusiastic, desperately stuffing vegetables into the bags, shouting for more, more…
“I don’t know either.” Gu Yicheng coughed, “How much is a pound of rice?”
Mo Sui shook her head.
“Three yuan and nine cents a pound.” An An said in a low voice.
The couple were dumbfounded and said in unison: “How did you know?”
An An was a little proud and a little shy, blushing shyly: “Mrs. Li told me.”
“How much is a pound of eggs?” Mo Sui asked again.
“There are three yuan, five yuan, and six and a half yuan ones.” An An said seriously.
“For An An to eat, we still have to buy good ones.” Gu Yicheng said.
Mo Sui went to get a pen and paper and began to write down the vegetable prices that An An mentioned.
The child only heard Mrs. Li talk about it when she was with her and didn’t remember the price of vegetables completely, but she tilted her head to think about it. She actually helped her parents a lot.
The couple sat on the furry carpet next to the coffee table, one holding a pen and the other working on a computer, trying to balance the nutrition and finally write a menu.
Buy seven yuan of meat, four yuan of rice, five yuan of vegetables, and a few yuan of flour to make dumplings to eat tomorrow morning.
